Week 2 2026: CFB gambling picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 2 of our college football season is in the books and the picks from our esteemed panel of gamblers are graded. Let’s dive right in.

Big winners this week included David Bearman, Emory Hunt, Pat Forde and Will Compton. However, this week’s biggest winner was Collin Wilson of the Action Network at 12-4 ATS for a profit of 6.75 units. Congratulations to Collin on a great winning week.

Other results of note: Scott Van Pelt’s WINNERS went 1-5 ATS this week. Stanford Steve went 1-2 on the board on College Gameday. Super Dogs went 0-6 which may be a new record. I don’t think they’ve ever one winless across the board.

In the money line picks Chris “The Bear” Fallica was the biggest winner on the week with a profit of 2.3 units on 2 picks.
